First Time EVER Playing Center Mid... | My Every Touch Game Analysis

[@nathancook2852]

Your runs and movement were great. I learn so much watching these every touch analysis. Thanks!

[@yurybahdanovich5309]

My son 11 and I we are big fans of you, Matt. We are from Belarus but live in Indianapolis for 8 years. More than 1 year we are with you and about 6 with soccer. We just love your philosophy and princiciples of life. When we took your autograph after this game, I forgot to say GREAT JOB on new position! And I forgot picture. Mabe next time😄 Good luck, Matt!

[@helcioandre9232]

In my opinion you played in a very professional way, what I think you need to improve is on your first touch, take advantage of open spaces and risk more, you play to safe, overall that is good if you are a professional but it does not set you apart from the rest, that is my thought about your performance in this match, keep it up.

Really really amazing to see this out of you Matt! Long, long time fan. And your way of thinking and articulating the game has definitely helped me perform and enjoy the beautiful game of soccer! 🙌🏽

[@jechoon]

64th minute : once you pass you have to run into the box to create chances and pressure the defense. That will open up goal scoring opportunities.

[@SonnyDazeNYC]

Fun video. Great job, Matt. A lot different than those old St. Louis videos where every other play was just passing the ball back to your center back lol.

[@Blookdyxlovers]

@@Kaijufied Train and train until you do 3 great performance in a row and after that ask for a switch with the coach

[@siliconrockstar187]

Man I'm glad I found this video, I started playing for an over 40 7v7 team that is significantly below the level I'm used to playing at so they want to move me from keeper to center mid. I haven't played in the field in 5+ years and for the 20 years before that I played as an outside back.

[@قرفص]

Wtf is “playing in the field” or an “outside back” 😂😂

[@AnselTazeh]

​@@قرفصprolly means as an outfield player when saying in the field as in a CB, CM, ST, etc And when he says outside back he means full back

[@netking767]

Got to say..awesome runs and movement bro! keep it up!

[@lucaskicks09]

Well done Matt. I’m a 9 who is currently transitioning into the LW/LB role. I really am trying to be as versatile as possible, and this video has helped show me that it is indeed possible to transition Into a different position very well.

hope to see you in this position again , no need to pass to the space everytime . to be honest wide range vision may not your good point but you have good run , may be you can play forward or second striker ex. luke de jong

[@kevendelgado7403]

This guy is the most versatile player I’ve ever seen how is he not on the mls even as a squad player he can play everywhere and give you a good game

[@moh12313]

bc he dont take his chances everytime he can take a shot or dribble he always passes it off he never takes the risks

[@youngmuncha]

he doesn't really take risks in his game tbh, if he wants to get at a higher level he has to dribble into space more and take on defenders as a 10 along with the movement and passing that he does really well

[@NS-sx4dq]

He’s still the same after years. Plays back or sideways every time. I’ve never seen him play a creative pass in all his touch analysis videos. Modern wingback is supposed to create chances. He just plays like an old school outside back, contributes nothing other than running and simple passes

[@tgass]

You know the coach is bellow average when he asks the ten to be more defensive and "attacking is just a bonus"... Ooh Lawd!

[@Kaijufied]

This is why American football won’t develop

[@lipslidemyrail]

Nice analysis as always, Matt. Would love a video unpacking the decision to play #10. Was it a manager recognizing you for the position or was the impetus more personal? Thanks!

Ooooh can't wait to watch this after work

[@rudifeenstra4530]

Is a 10 different in the US? In Europe playing 10 means Centre Attacking Midfielder or "in the hole". Matt's role here was a man marking defensive midfielder

[@johnnyhenderson7486]

I second this question, Matt.

[@shantiescovedo4361]

It means the same, but I think he is using it as a position rather than role. It certainly looked like an eight or even a six, but we did not see a lot of the game when out of possession, so he was probably starting deeper than a normal 10 by the time we get to see the play.

[@bigdaddy2429]

Being a 10 doesn´t mean he can´t have a defensive assignment

[@Tsubasa_00010]

11:38 is just soo hard to watch. Your teammate already won the ball back but just because the enemy is holding his arm he starts flipping out and thus getting sent off the pitch. Obviously a lot of acting by the opposing player but it's just so stupid to act like that when you are in control of the game...

[@hook8535]

Min 8.39 on the game. Should have either sorted chested into a left foot pass to the strikers left foot.. or a first time left foot pass into strikers feet. Reason being you have time to evaluate the position as that ball is coming to your chest.

[@davinhunt7558]

[@jmkiser33]

What's hilarious is that I was in the BYB section the whole time drumming (right behind the goal you were shooting at 1st half) and I kept seeing you up the field, on the left/center, pushing the net, and I kept saying to the guys around me "I'm so confused, that's Sheldon, he's the guy w/ the YT channel and he's been a RB forever, what is going on here?"

[@datftbl]

Great video, memorizing moments from the match

[@RedDevilDog1207]

Matt, decent work for the first time at the 10! Good runs just missing some of the trademark vision and touch of those that play there naturally. Still though cant help but think, its not a great look for club and USL Championship to not have someone in the squad or youth team that may be suited than a trained outside back.

[@zeablade9072]

Very nice man. Continue your work.

Honstly not too Bad though I think winger suits you better if your Coach wants to play you further Front

@10 min mark in the game you could/should’ve taken at least a few more dribbles to pull one of those defenders away from your target man...if they didnt pull to you, shoot it yourself. You had your mark on your backside and beaten. Just my .02

[@The_Fitness_Vault]

You guys should’ve won this game, like you said this tie is like a loss. Playing a man up in the first half and the last twenty minutes of the game they gave you guys so much space in behind the defense, could’ve easily grabbed a winner

[@M_SH-10]

Hi Matt, I am coming back to pro football and it's been around 4 years since I didn't play in a league at all now I am 23. Throughout those years had injury which prevented me from sprinting at full speed and now last 2 years been working on myself, training and playing 6vs6, 7vs7 in smaller pitches. Now as coming back to pro football, I am facing problems with my fitness. Before injury I was naturally rapid and no one would able to catch me and it was so easy accelerate and run at full speed. Nowadays I feel that I am not as rapid as I was and struggling to run fast and getting tired too quickly. For example last game I played 45 mins as left winger and already after 5-10 min was running out of breath and couldn't easily sprint. I am so confused even tho last 2 months was going to gym and running a lot. But again getting tired to quick and my speed is not the same. Could you give me some advice? Did you face similar problems in your career?

[@JOJO-jm5pn]

Instead of just just running miles or a lot in one sitting run in intervals example if you have a football feild nearby run from one end of the penalty to the other 25 times in under 4 minutes if possible as well as running from one end of the field to the other in 20 seconds take a 20 second rest and do it again 10 times

Why do you almost never take risks? You never take that next dribble or pass that will make you the difference in the game rather than your teammates. For example 8:53 you had an incredible amount of space to drive into but you just payed it off instead of trusting your self. Much love tho keep it up.
